    Did you not go through all this in school? Given the time constraints, I would suggest you chose a broader theme. Perhaps 'Relationships'? Compare Alec and Jerry; Rick and Ilsa; and MacBeth and Lady MacBeth.

    nah our teacher basically showed us the 3 texts told us the theme was politics and to do it ourselves :/

    That's bizarre. What level are you doing?

    You could easily do the theme of inhumanity if you wanted. How man miles with the mother not allowing Alec to go to school, sending him to war, the relationship between the parents etc, macbeth with the murders, calling on evil spirits etc.
    Not sure with the other text but I'm sure there's inhumainuty in there ? :p

    I would really do relationships if I were you. Compare two of the relationships you know well throughout most of your response, using comparative language; and refer sporadically to the third.
